I think she’s so cute! She’s only a year old and she’s been with this rescue for 6 months of her life. They said her deformity doesn’t appear to cause her any pain, but she does need help catching bugs and getting shed off her toes
Honestly at this point I’m just pretending to go with what they say so I can grab the gecko and then change it all later.
They’ve asked me not to use any overhead lighting and to use reptile carpet 😭 I just smile and nod but there’s no way I’m doing that.
Going through the adoption process to get a leopard gecko from a local rescue but I’ve found that the rescued care requirements are super outdated. I’m just trying to give this little gecko and good home but these people are being very strict 😭 it wouldn’t be so bad if their care guide was...
Also, does anyone know if something like a 40w LED bulb would be ok for her enclosure? I ask because I was using a 100w halogen and it got way too hot. I’ve plugged in the 40w for now. I want to find what’s best before I bring her home
In my readings I have learned that the specific morph of gecko I am gecko is less pigmented and therefore needs a less intense UVB bulb. Something like a 2-2.5%
After telling myself I wasn’t going to get anything before I got a snake, I just filled out an application to adopt a disabled leopard gecko.
I haven’t had a leopard gecko in nearly 10 years. Can anyone recommend the best lighting? And do they need UVB?

My current enclosure is a little too small for a full grown one I think but possibly a grown out tank
